尽管照顾患有进行性痴呆症的亲属对心理健康造成的不良后果已有充分记录，但人们对照顾者在丧亲之后的适应情况知之甚少。这项纵向研究考察了三组的变化：持续照顾者，照顾了 4 年时间的人 (n= 98)；失去亲人的照顾者，其受损亲属在第一年和第四年期间死亡 (n= 49)；以及对照组 (n= 107)。尽管到第四年丧亲之痛平均已过去 19.8 个月，但丧亲者和继续照顾者在抑郁综合症或抑郁症状方面没有差异；两组的抑郁程度均明显高于对照组。丧亲之痛后的时间与抑郁或社会支持无关。那些在丧亲之痛后更多地思考护理问题的护理人员报告说，他们有更多的抑郁、更大的压力和更大的社会孤立感。
Although the adverse mental health consequences of caregiving for a relative with a progressive dementia are well documented, little is known about caregivers' adaptation after bereavement. This longitudinal study examined changes in three groups: continuing caregivers, who had been caregiving across a 4-year period (n= 98), bereaved caregivers, whose impaired relative died between Years 1 and 4 (n= 49), and controls (n= 107). Although a mean of 19.8 months had elapsed since bereavement by Year 4, bereaved and continuing caregivers did not differ on syndromal depression or depressive symptoms; both groups were significantly more depressed than controls. Time since bereavement was unrelated to depression or social support. Those caregivers who ruminated more about caregiving after bereavement reported more depression, greater stress, and greater social isolation.
